RALEIGH — Driving rain did not stop Wakefiled High families and fans from participating in the Ram Gridiron Challenge Fundraiser Nov. 1 for the school’s football program.

Ram Truck brand contributed $20 for each test drive of the 2014 truck of the year – Ram Truck. Chris Leith Dodge Ram provided the trucks and Ram Truck brand provided the support.

Wakefield provided the fans that would test drive their way to an exciting and successful event, even on an evening that was raining cats and dogs.

“Ram Trucks and high school football make a perfect partnership,” said Reid Bigland, CEO of the Ram Truck brand. “The players on these teams face new challenges week after week, knowing that with hard work comes reward. This commitment to hard work and excellence is what we strive for at the Ram Truck brand, and we’re proud to support these kids and their efforts on the field, in the classroom, and their community.”

“We always enjoy the opportunity to get out into the community and give something back,” said Johnny Dudley, Operations Manager at Chris Leith Dodge/Ram Truck. “Even in this crazy weather we had a great turnout for the Ram Gridiron Challenge Fundraiser – It was a pleasure to work with the parents, students, and fans of Wakefield High School.”
